confused ramblings about the Swancon guest

I’m feeling very conflicted about Swancon’s International GoH.

In some ways I’m really annoyed with myself for letting this bother me.

I would save your annoyance at yourself for some other topic (not that I have a particular topic in mind). It's perfectly acceptable to be unenthusiastic about someone who believes your life is sinful and wrong!!

I'm annoyed that I haven't developed a thicker skin, especially given that I have to run a workshop on this topic on Friday.

Crap, I didn't know
:(

I didn't either until this morning. I was just excited about PR1 and happily googling the guest, wanting to find out more about him.

I am very sad to learn this :(

I understand completely. I will probably go to Swancon and avoid him. Can you link to anything in particular that we should be read of his?

He's as respectful as he can be while still endorsing the Mormon teachings on homosexuality.

Yikes. I was laughing out loud at a lot of it, but religion usually has that effect on me - it's either laugh or cry.

Ditto.

Mine too. I owner if she can ever write a book that comes after this, or if she writes more in the universe it will eb earlier stuff?

I think that falls into 'politely avoid' for me :(
